What parameters will the Twitter lib fetchTweets () method use?

Question

I created a tweeter bot for retraction and sympathy for tweets using the Agarwal tutorial , which uses the Twitter lib library to search for tweets. I am using Twitterlib version 21 in my project.

This seems to work for the most part, but I have one specific problem. When I include the parameter "min_retweets: X" in my search, it does not seem to be recognized. This is not an officially registered search parameter, but it works when you use it on a regular twitter site and returns only tweets that have been rewritten X times.

If I make "min_retweets: X" the first search term, the search will not return any results. If I make this the last search term, I get results, but they are not limited to tweets that have been rewritten X times.

I searched a bit in the fetchtweets () method inside Twitterlib, but at the moment I don't understand where this problem could be here. Version 21 of the library says that it was updated to make the search with ":" correct, and this seems accurate as far as some other search terms I used, not this one. There's also a min_faves: X parameter, but I have not tested it if it works with Twitterlib search.

If anyone knows of a workaround to get this working, I would appreciate it. Below is the code that I use to call the function and the code for the function itself from the Twitter library:

var tweets = twit.fetchTweets( 
  TWITTER_SEARCH_PHRASE, function(tweet) {
    if (!tweet.possibly_sensitive) {
      return tweet.id_str;
    }
  }, {
    multi: true,
    lang: "en",
    count: 5,
    since_id: props.getProperty("SINCE_TWITTER_ID")
  });

OAuth.prototype.fetchTweets = function(search, tweet_processor, options) {

  var tweets, response, result = [], data, i, candidate;  
  var phrase = encodeString('lang:' + (options && options.lang || 'en') + ' ' + encodeString(search).replace(/%3A/g, ":")); // English language by default

  this.checkAccess();

  if(options == null) {
    options = {};
  }

  var url = [
    "https://api.twitter.com/1.1/search/tweets.json?count=", 
    (options.count || "5"),
    options.filter ? ("&filter=" + encodeString(options.filter)) : "",
    "&include_entities=",
    options.include_entities ? encodeString(options.include_entities) : "false",
    "&result_type=",
    options.result_type ? encodeString(options.result_type) : "recent",
    "&q=",
    phrase,
    options.since_id ? "&since_id=" + encodeString(options.since_id) : ""
    ].join("");
  var request_options =
  {
    "method": "get"
  };

try {

    response = this.fetch(url, request_options);

    if (response.getResponseCode() === 200) {

      data = JSON.parse(response.getContentText());
      if (data) {

        tweets = data.statuses;

        if(!tweet_processor) {
          return options && options.multi ? tweets : tweets[tweets.length - 1];
        }
        for (i=tweets.length-1; i>=0; i--) {
          candidate = tweet_processor(tweets[i]);
          if(candidate === true) candidate = tweets[i];
          if(candidate) {
            if(options && options.multi) {
              result.push(candidate);
            } else {
              return candidate;
            }
          }
        }
        if(result.length) {
          return result;
        }
        if(i < 0) {
          Logger.log("No matching tweets this go-round");
        }
      }
    } else {
      Logger.log(response);
    }
  } catch (e) {
    Logger.log(JSON.stringify(e));
    throw e;
  }
  return result;
}

Yes, it looks like you found a true mistake on this. If you look at the execution script after running fetchTweets () with the min_retweets search query, it looks like this:

https://api.twitter.com/1.1/search/tweets.json?count=5&include_entities=false&result_type=recent&q=lang%3Aen%20min_retweets%3A100%2520swag

%25 , , . ; , , . , . twit.fetch URL-, :

var tweets = JSON.parse(
  twit.fetch(
     "https://api.twitter.com/1.1/search/tweets.json?"
     + "count=5&result_type=recent&q=" 
     + Twitterlib.encodeString("lang:en min_retweets:100 #swag"),     
    {method: "get"}).getContentText("UTF-8")
).statuses;
